Austrian Grand Prix

Austrian Grand Prix

Red Bull Ring

Summary

Surrounded by postcard picturesque landscapes, it can be hard to keep your attention on the track in Spielberg, but as the third Sprint race of the 2024 season and with a very short lap to compete, you’ll need to remain lightning focused to earn points at the Red Bull Ring.

Suggested Setup

Suggested car setup and attribute focus for the Red Bull Ring:

  1. High speed cornering is crucial
  2. DRS effectiveness is also crucial
  3. Favours cars with balanced stats

Tips & Tricks

As a Sprint weekend, Spielberg requires you to get your strategy correct on the first try, without relying on practice sessions to refine.

  1. You’ll only have a single practice session before qualifying, so do your best to create a high confidence setup and race strategy. 
  2. If you’re unlikely to gain points in the Sprint, consider taking it easy and minimise wear on your car. On the other hand, if victory in the GP looks out of reach, those Sprint points may be a game changer.
  3. With such a short lap, every pit at Spielberg can make the difference. Pushing for a one pit strategy may mark the difference between ending in the points.

2024 Race Replay

Red Bull should be flying, with their drivers in good positions and their final pit stops underway. However, a nightmare of a pit stop error has left Verstappen with a much tighter lead on Norris than he had going in. With both the frontrunners on fresh tyres and tensions mounting more than ever, can Verstappen keep his cool, and his position, to end up at the top of the podium this weekend?
